My Gizmo or Gizzy Girl
I think I’ll start where it all began. It was a raining February and there was a huge thunderstorm had come in. It is unusal for us to have storms like that but every once in a while it happens. I was working in the nursery and this little very cute bordier collier came running in scared and wet. Shaun our resident animal lover snagged her from sunset road. She was really cute and she followed me around the nursery like we had been friends forever. She never left my side. I think she new I had goats and there was a job to be had. At the end of business day Shaun who had called the pound, said “They asked us to keep her here because there are so many animals running around from the storm, she would be better off with one of us.” I looked at shaun and said “I’m not taking her, I have 40 goats 5 horses, and a dog already.” He’s like I’m sure her people will pick her up tommorrow. I reluctantly took her home. We did find her people, and they did pick her up. I should have known something wasn’t right when we put her in the truck and she jump out of the truck window and looked up at me. I’ll never forget that look as I put her back in the truck.
As she drove off, I wondered if she would be okay. I didn’t have to wonder to long she was on my porch by five the next morning. I never called her people again, she never tried to leave and she worked my goats every day for five and half years. Last monday I went out cause she wasn’t at the door in the morning she was out by the horses laying with her nose in the sand. Our big black horse standing over her trying to blow life back into her. I could tell he was worried, gentlely I picked her up and brought her to the house. I laid her down. She died shortly a few minutes later.
I just wanted let you know you never know where a loyal friend will come from. My Gizzy Girl never left my side and I will miss her. I didn’t pick her but she picked me and I will always love her for that.
Always My Beloved Friend Gizmo
